It must be said that the events of the past few days have shown that Xu Yeming is a clear-headed and cautious person.
If it's simply to try and summon the Phoenix from the Classic of Classic of Mountains and Seas and Seas using the Earth Rod...
Both the timing and the location were chosen too impulsively.
Without Lu Changsheng and the others' help, it would have been a certain death situation.
This is completely contrary to the personality Xu Yeming had previously displayed.
so.
That's why Lu Changsheng suspected that Xu Yeming might have another purpose.
And this goal must be achieved, even at the risk of being discovered and losing one's life.
"You must have other motives, right?"
Hearing Lu Changsheng's question.
Xu Yeming lowered his head and remained silent.
Lu Changsheng said, "We are already master and disciple, there are some things we don't need to hide."
Xu Yeming looked up at Lu Changsheng, his eyes flickering, and said, "I just feel that there are some things I shouldn't trouble Master with. After all, I haven't done anything, and Master gave me such a precious divine object. I would feel a little guilty if I thought of troubling Master again."
Hearing the word "trouble"...
Lu Changsheng waved his hand dismissively and said, "Would that be too troublesome? Then forget it, don't say anything, absolutely don't say anything!"
Xu Yeming: "????"
While it's understandable to be afraid of trouble, doesn't this art style feel a bit off?
Do masters usually say this to their disciples?
Behind Lu Changsheng, Huang Qian said helplessly, "Don't pay attention to him. That's just how your master is. He says what he wants to say, and he doesn't have to say what he doesn't want to say."
"Yes, Madam." Xu Yeming nodded.
Teacher's wife?!
With a soft "plop, "Huang Qian's face flushed crimson, even redder than the Divine Phoenix Fire...
Moreover, steam was constantly rising from Huang Qian's head, just like a boiling kettle.
Lu Changsheng's eyes widened upon hearing this, and he said, "What 'master's wife'? Don't talk nonsense, kid!"
"I, Lu Changsheng, have lived a life of impeccable integrity, worthy of the title ' Liu Xiahui a legendary figure known for his chastity), and have never seduced a single woman!"
He panicked, he panicked.
But... who is Liu Xiahui?
Huang Qian didn't dwell on who this person was, but instead snorted coldly and turned her head away.
Xu Yeming glanced at the two of them, smiled, and nodded, saying, "Oh, I understand."
"What do you know?! Stop playing those 'brainstorming' games! You can't be a 'know-it-all'." Lu Changsheng practically wanted to expel Xu Yeming from the sect on the spot.
Xu Yeming nodded, suppressing a laugh.
To be fair, Xu Yeming did have emotional intelligence; although he had seen through everything, he still kept quiet.
To avoid angering Master.
"Ahem." Lu Changsheng coughed, covering his mouth, his expression becoming slightly serious. He said, "Alright, speak now, what is it about?"
Xu Yeming's smile gradually faded.
Instead, a look of helplessness appeared on his face, with a hint of sorrow in his eyes.
"Because that day happened to be the day when the aura of the Phoenix Soul in Phoenix Cry Mountain was at its strongest, that's why I chose that day to try to summon the Phoenix." Xu Yeming said with a wry smile, "Only by summoning the Phoenix, only by possessing the Phoenix fire released by a pure Phoenix Bloodline, can I save my parents' lives."
Lu Changsheng and Huang Qian were both taken aback.
What happened?
Is this another story where the Lineage is wiped out, then the protagonist is hunted down, their parents are seriously injured, and the protagonist's plot armor kicks in?
Xu Yeming continued, "My father was human, but my mother was beastman. He met my mother when he came to the Devil Beast Continent for training, and the two naturally got together."
Lu Changsheng waved his hand helplessly and said, "Then your father's or mother's Lineage was too powerful and did not allow you to marry a human or beast. And your parents were stubborn and refused to marry anyone else. So you started wandering the world, but were found by your Lineage. After a fierce battle, you were seriously injured and escaped, right?"
Xu Yeming's expression turned to shock, and he exclaimed, "How did Master know?!"
"And he reproduced exactly what I was going to say next?!"
Suddenly, Xu Yeming stood up abruptly, staring at Lu Changsheng warily, and asked, "Could it be that Master is from that Lineage?!"
Lu Changsheng curled his lip.
If you took this script back to your past life, everyone would know it, and they could absolutely create dozens or even hundreds of scripts based on it, believe it or not.
"Alright, alright, don't be so sensitive." Lu Changsheng gestured for Xu Yeming to sit down.
"If I were a member of the Lineage you're talking about, I would have already captured you, searched your Soul Search, and gone to find your parents. Why would I need to go through all this trouble?"
Too.
Xu Yeming breathed a sigh of relief, sat down, and continued, "Now, our parents' injuries are extremely serious. Their life force and cultivation have been depleted to the limit; they will soon perish."
"We tried all sorts of elixirs and consulted various Alchemist to treat my parents, but unfortunately, nothing worked. They said their meridians were withered and their Dantian was shattered. If their original cultivation level had been lower, they could have recovered, but the higher their cultivation level, the more difficult it was to repair them."
This is quite normal.
The Dantian can be compared to a foundation; the higher the cultivation level, the higher and more stable the foundation becomes.
Once the foundation reaches a certain point, repairing it will only become more difficult if it is damaged.
Xu Yeming continued, "Then... I heard about the reshaping effect of the Nirvana Fire, and that it might be possible to extend my parents' lives with the help of the Nirvana Fire."
"So that's why you wanted to summon the Phoenix on the day when its Phoenix Soul energy was at its strongest, right?"
Xu Yeming nodded.
That makes sense.
Lu Changsheng stood up and said, "Are you sure the Nirvana Fire can solve this?"
Xu Yeming smile, "There's only a sliver of hope."
"Let's go take a look then. Huang Qian is here too." Lu Changsheng stretched.
Xu Yeming's eyes flashed as he looked at Huang Qian.
Yes, Senior Huang Qian is Divine Phoenix with the highest bloodline among the Phoenix Clan!
At the same time, with such pure bloodline, the Divine Phoenix Fire it releases is naturally stronger than the Nirvana Fire.
Huang Qian rolled her eyes.
You ignore me when nothing's wrong, but only remember me when you need something, right?
According to the term Lu Changsheng himself used before.
What's his name... scumbag?
Yes, that's right, that word best describes Lu Changsheng himself.
"So... shall we go now?" Xu Yeming asked.
Lu Changsheng nodded and said, "What else can we do? If you're sick, you have to get treatment promptly, and since it's a matter of life and death, we can't delay."
After saying that, he put his hand on Xu Yeming's shoulder and his other hand on Huang Qian's back.
"Give me navigation... oh no, give me directions."
Immediately after Xu Yeming pointed out the specific location, Lu Changsheng tore open a space and stepped inside.
However, the moment she stepped into the space, Huang Qian pulled down the hand that was on her back, and then her hand swiftly slipped into his and grabbed it.
Lu Changsheng was taken aback. "You're taking advantage of me, aren't you?!"
Huang Qian's eyebrows curved, but a sly smile appeared on her face.
